Ronald Araújo's ambiguity with his future is beginning to worry Barça

Ronald Araújo's continuity remains up in the air. At Can Barça they want to continue having the centre-back in the team, but the club cannot arrange a meeting with the footballer's agents to agree on the extension of his contract. This is how they report from 'AS', where they assure that this situation keeps the Barça executives in suspense, who are beginning to look worried due to the 'hesitation' of the player's representatives.

And since his name appeared on the supposed discard list that Xavi Hernández would have drawn up, the Uruguayan's relationship with the club has become strained. The 'tranquility' of the '4' agents has aroused suspicion in the Camp Nou offices, where they think that Ronald has an important offer from another club (in January there was talk of Bayern) and that by postponing the negotiations they seek to win time for FC Barcelona to be forced to sign a renewal in the best possible conditions for its client.

Likewise, the footballer continues without giving a clear answer, playing tricks with his future. In his last statements to 'Punto Penal', Araújo maintained that he is "very well. I'm calm. I have a contract until 2026. Now, my representatives will meet with the club. I'm thinking about the national team." While the center-back appears to be happy and at ease, the lack of forcefulness in ensuring his continuity has generated total confusion in the club.

Flick wants to continue counting on Araújo
The arrival of Hansi Flick to the Blaugrana bench reaffirmed the entity's intentions to continue having Ronald in the squad. For the German, the presence of the Uruguayan in his team would be important, and the player would have given orders to his agents to accelerate negotiations with the club while he is concentrated with his national team on the eve of the start of the season. America Cup. However, until now there has been no movement and concern is beginning to grow in Barcelona.

For this reason, Barça is very clear that if the representatives do not comply with the conditions of the new contract, they would open the exit door for the defender. The club and the German coach have Araújo, but not at any price. If the footballer and his agents put obstacles in the way of signing the new agreement, the Catalans would agree to a sale as long as the transfer figure is significant, with the minimum amount being around 80 million euros. The ball is in the Uruguayan's court.
